Supreme Magus

ter than a bullet.

Lith Switched his position with the nearest warg, making the pack ’s strength dwindle even further.

’That ’s the problem with sudden power ups. What you gain in strength, you lose in accuracy, sucker! ’ Lith Blinked behind the hybrid, thrusting the Gatekeeper towards the creature ’s head.

Somehow, the Tezka-alpha hybrid perceived Lith ’s movements and turned around abruptly. A new horn grew on his forehead. It moved fast enough to push the blade aside and aim for his enemy ’s throat.

Lith Switched position again, and another warg died by its own alpha ’s hands. Another of the lights in the hybrid ’s mind was replaced by a sudden void, driving him almost mad due to the guilt he felt for his incompetence and his hatred toward the human.

Even though Tezka controlled half the body, he didn ’t have the mastery to perfectly control the body nor was his essence developed enough to allow him to use most of his skills. The alpha ’s emotional instability was crippling their already limited battle prowess.

’F.u.c.k! They had an escape strategy planned. The wargs divided into small groups and took flight in different directions. ’ After killing the wargs who had yet to run away because they were too tired after sharing the barrier ’s burden, Lith turned to the alpha.

He could follow only one group at a time and that would mean leaving his back exposed to someone capable of using Chaos magic. Lith had already witnessed how powerful it was. Even though he had yet to understand its nature, Lith didn ’t underestimate his enemy.

’How many did we take down? ’ He asked.

’Eleven. ’ Solus sighed. She almost felt like they were the bad guys, chasing creatures that just wanted to live. ’Fighting the Black Star or the Carpenters was so much easier. ’

Lith had her assume her gauntlet form and take the Gatekeeper, leaving his hands free. Now a yellow gemstone was embedded on the back of the gauntlet ’s hand, right beside the green one.

He decided to investigate what that evolution meant after getting rid of the last warg standing in front of him.

”Curse you, human. ” Tezka was afraid of the sword flying circles around them. He was using sheer willpower to hold the alpha back, but after losing so many developed fragments and the rest of the pack getting farther away by the second, his consciousness faded away.

The hybrid bolted at Lith who infused himself with all the elements and took the charge head on.

’Please, don ’t! It ’s a trap! ’ Tezka begged the alpha in vain. Being so close to its nemesis that it could almost smell his blood, sent the alpha into a frenzy. The hybrid unleashed a chain of lightning that Lith grounded with earth magic and countered with a volley of Wind Blades.

The dark matter of the Abomination half of the body absorbed part of the damage and immediately started to heal the rest, but it needed time. Unfortunately, time was running out.

Lith ’s hands grabbed the hybrid ’s claws, leaving it shocked in realization that the human was physically superior to itself. Without its pack, even merging with Tezka wasn ’t enough to face Lith ’s enhanced body while boosted by fusion magic.

Things became even worse when Lith unleased the tier four darkness magic spell, Grim Reaper. The power of dozens of Plague Arrows flowed from his hands into the trapped claws. Direct contact made the spell ’s slow speed irrelevant.

The hybrid felt his strength flicker as his fingers were crushed into a broken mess.
